Question 1

What is a permanent QR code?

Accepted Answer

A dynamic QR code whose printed short URL keeps resolving to a destination after the subscription that created it ends. The pattern on the paper never changes; the destination behind it is editable while you are paying, and frozen at its last value if you stop.

Question 2

Do Scanduro QR codes expire?

Accepted Answer

No. A code you have created keeps resolving to its last saved destination for the operational lifetime of the service, regardless of plan, cancellation or scan volume. Five carve-outs are listed in the Terms of Service: abuse, legal compulsion, wind-down, non-payment of paid features, and deletion by you.

Question 3

What happens to my printed codes if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

They keep working. You lose editing, analytics collection, the API, webhooks and branded domains. You keep the redirect, and scan history exports as CSV on every plan, including Free.

Question 4

Is there a free permanent QR code generator?

Accepted Answer

The Free plan includes three dynamic codes that behave the same way as paid ones: they do not expire, and they are not a trial. Free scans pass through a branded forwarding page; paid plans redirect directly.

Question 5

What happens if Scanduro goes out of business?

Accepted Answer

The published commitment is a wind-down of at least 12 and up to 24 months, during which redirects continue and you can export a complete slug-to-destination mapping. It is written into the Terms of Service rather than promised in marketing copy.

Question 6

Do you sell a lifetime QR code for a one-off fee?

Accepted Answer

No, deliberately. A single payment against an unbounded future cost is the arrangement that fails, and its failure is what breaks printed codes. Permanence here is a property of the service, funded by the subscriptions of people still using the editing and analytics.
